Grade 2 hammer gun would have been American Walnut.
It should have some figure, but not over the top. And as with any stock blank, good grain flow through the wrist is most important.

1885 Quality G, fully original.
Our member Ed Morgan in Galena, Ill. usually has black walnut blanks from his own trees. Ed usually brings stock blanks to the Southern SxS or call him. |

I agree with Dean. I have gotten many stock blanks from Cecil and never been disappointed. He completely exchanged a nice blank of English Walnut for a Fox project when the smith found a defect when he was heading up the stock. No questions no BS just a full exchange for another blank. A quality person to do business with.

What is the difference between American Walnut and Black Walnut, or are they the same?

American Black Walnut is a separate species of walnut (juglans nigra). And there are several other species of walnut that grow in North America.
